part 2...

And so the ride begins... dayaang had clearly overslept and thus we were an hour late to getting started 😅.

The plan for the day was to get to Naromoru by 6:30 (a plan that remained just that 😁) hopefully be at the Mt Kenya Sirimon gate by 7:30 to get our receipts stamped and details checked. loh and behold we got to Naromoru at around 8 just in time to catch up with the Nairutia team led by Ken and King'ori.
Behind us was Daktari aka Maina riding the focin 150, very offroad capable bike.

Oh! he's the guy you'll spot on a tall red offroad bike. (chap smiling in pic)

As has been with all other rides, my bike was misbehaving, having been previously smoked by Victor on the Chaka - Naromoru stretch (250 inapigwa gap ya ajab na 180 na sio j*p jameni🤦‍♂️)

I'd recently rebuild Wanja(orange bike) and as such had not anticipated using her for the ride, well not until conditions forced us to have to pillion the two guides ;)

Carb issues on my bike definitely lost us a considerable amount of time...oh! my exhaust also came undone midway into Timau. That's the clip where you see King'ori handing me a number 10 nut to remount it back.

Nothing notable can be said of Sirimon, and the ride back to Timau other than most of the boys battling with the loss of power on the bikes with the ascent to Sirimon.

Timau already behind us and now riding past Kisima, amazing views unwind as we ride past the British owned farms. I can barely describe the beauty on this here road.

With a certain drop off to the left, in the distance are the undulating hills showing off as rounded shades in the horizon as you move towards isiolo.

This would make a lovely painting!

A diversion later and we are at the kfs gate. Peculiarly, I can't spot a single notice describing this wooden debacle as a MT Kenya gate! haa! I digress...

No one prepared us for the distance that is what we covered to get to the lake!
I'd enquired from one of the KFS personnel at the gate as to how far the lake was from the gate.

8kms he said..

A lie it was to start off this journey!
Had Victor known what lay ahead, he would have called it quits right now and then haha!...

Lake Rotundu Story Time.

Part 1

Lake Rutundu x Nyeri off-road bikers N friends

This here story starts off with King'ori.
We've had this regular practice of riding and exploring Kenya on bikes every last Sunday of the month.
Important to note that joining us is always free provided said party that wants to join is a licensed biker, owns a bike and will cater for their own costs.

We've had a pretty good streak this year ticking off interesting locations throughout the year criss crossing all over....trust me I mean that we've literally crisscrossed Kenya. However, we didn't get a chance to ride out on November....stuff came up yada yada yada...

It was King'ori's turn to pick a location and plan it.
Enter King'ori, the chap donning a modular black/green ls2 helmet that costs almost as much as his mule for the day. King'ori looks within himself...summons a demon and decides that we've been on tarmac for too long.

We happen to be a really tight night group that barely ever backs out of a ride.
I'll tell you someday of a ride that had us end up at Magado crater at 5 in the evening.
Sunday is two days away and I'm busy at work rushing about.... King'ori calls..I know what he's about to tell me....

"Sunday imefika, tuko na ride"😅

I ask where to, rather curiously. I know what he is capable of....Magado was his plan...end of year sounds more like a chance for him to go all rabid on us.
But hey, I welcome all the torture you can bring my way haha.

Click goes the end call button. It's settled that we're going to Lake Rutundu. I'm glad we're ticking off another lake of our list....2 in a year sounds amazing....not just any lake but the countable lakes on Mt Kenya.

Plans were made and here we are on Sunday. I'd made sure to tag along my long time friend akuje tumtesee kwa kichaka😅

Did I mention that during the planning and preparations, the guide mentioned that there was a constant danger of lions on the track that leads to the lake?

This is a trail that barely gets any action so suffice to say...you're all on your own. Towards this, we had two guides to save the day...Sam and Sam(I didn't mistype that😁)

Other than looking like a very dirty rugrat, can you figure out where this is?

We made it to Mt Longonot as well?
Good!

Never in my life have I had to walk on autopilot for so long just for the bragging rights of knowing and saying that I made it to the top.

This is by far one of the best random photos I have taken by farmer aka King'ori.

Mt Longonot DONE!!

Over the years we've had the pleasure of going to different places and this just happened to be one of the most picturesque places yet!

We're normally a large group but on this one, it was just I, Ken and King'ori.

The highlight of this day was hiking to the peak and getting back to checkout in 2 hours...

Yes people...2 hours...it's doable and has been done

Rest assured that we couldn't walk the following day pass for King'ori😁😅

Welcome to Alaale, North Pokot!

Of the far off places I've been to, this one's tops off my list.

This was a trip we did on mid August with these lovely folks i.e Emily(The librarian), Davie and Collins ...ooh ooh ooooh not forgetting our host area ACC Njuguna.

The first frame is us stopping at a small village to ask for a guide to the hills.

In the shot is I riding Wanja who clears needs a new coat of colour...Collins stands hands akimbo...Davie trying to download nudes hot off the press and Njuguna coveting Davie's wife ~The black bike.

The story will unroll with time but for now...I'll tell you about the other shots.

Second frame is Collins and I in the front....he'd littered a few minutes ago and I'd been kind enough to bring him his litter😅😂😁

Final frame is ~ Your go to fuelling station in North pokot~ out here fuel goes for 200ksh a bottle/a liter. How good is it? Never had issues on my bike however owing to my bike being 100ccs bigger with a smaller tank, I had to refuel everytime I saw a roadside kiosk selling fuel.

As usual the photographer is missing from the pics. I should have included the tag ~shot on an iPhone😁

Our lovely photographer was Emily. You'll get to see her as the story unrolls.

You'd wonder...what's dumbest idea / ride we've ever done?

I owe you this story as well haha...

We rode all the way to Magado crater.

The first frame is us...the bikers...who'd left Nyeri early on around 8AM and got to that specific place in the frame at 5:30PM.

We had not yet found the crater and it was getting really dark.

Network out here is zilch.

This being a Sunday... everyone needed to be back for Work on Monday!

Lord did we work to find that damn crater! We searched!! And searched! Even offline maps couldn't save us!

By mere luck we found it!😅

We were standing right next to it...but the landscape is not expressive enough to show you the spot!!🤦🏾‍♂️

Bike of the day was King'ori's Beth Ironhorse.

She complimented the hills don't you think?

This is one of the rare occurrences you'll get to spot King'ori on a photo....very photophobic person this one haha.

If you seem him along that Nyeri Nyahururu highway scream *uncle farmer* atasimama kukusalimia😁

Made it to Mt Kenya!

We'd made an impromptu decision to hike up the Aberdares - Mt Satima but it wasn't to be so.

You see bikes unlike other national parks are not allowed into the park - reason.. probably safety concerns.

Turns out we also couldn't just get a warden(pay officially) to start the hike from the gate.

Again! I assume safety concerns.

Only option would be to hire a car that'd get us to the car park or sth some 10kms out from which we can either choose to hike solo or utilize a warden or community guide.

The wandering maestro decided that the incoming rain would be a pain having a hired car get stuck up there and thus...
Cross country mpaka Mt Kenya Naromoru gate.
Bid the rain fair well behind us....

And yet she caught up with us up the mountain haha...

A welcome pleasure that bikers have gotten accustomed to....what I wasn't prepared for was the COOOOLLLDDD!!! 🥶

I seem to lack in the picture frames for I unlike the others was dressed for a hike...left my warm gear behind.

Getting to Met station I couldn't feel my toes let alone my feet haha😁😅

Day well spent getting drenched, tortured by the cold and the air change messing up our bikes.

We rode all the way to Lake Olbolosat and saw nothing but the devastation left behind.

Speed bikes mix matched between off-road bikes.

A lovely mix of people joined by the love of adventure and bikes.

I'll tell you a story of how this was Thuo's first time riding a bike long distance.

Curious who Thuo is😁...second photo guy on a black street bike donning grey pants and a black jacket with a yellow hoodie on top.
